Based on 2 samples, from gospel choir. Both have been manipulated. The have a vintage feel because Moby didnt clean them. The samples are looped.
Based on verse-chorus structure. After second verse the is a breakdown (1 bar silence). The texture is built up, after breakdown texture becomes thinner. Contrasts in texture are provided by: varying instrumentation for each 8-bar section; the use of silence; sections with just static chords for the accompaniment.
The metre is 4/4 with a steady tempo. The drum loop is made up of a breakbeat. Repeated semiquavers are played on the shaker. Syncopation is used in the paino, vocal and synthesised string parts. Rhythms are varied between sections to provide contrast.
Instruments: synthesisers, sampler, drum machine, sequencer. Various effects such as: panning, introduction, 'electric ghostings', reverb, delay and echoes.
Harmony is diatonic. First sample is Am, Em, G, D. (Amazing Emily Goes Dancing). Second sample is C, Am, C, Am then F, C, F, C. Verses are in Dorian mode on A, and the choruses in C major.
